Thanks, yeah it just makes me sick. Actually loosing sleep over it. It will still bother me if I find him. I hunt for the love of the sport and for the meat on the bones. I buy a buck tag and usually 2 doe tags, although this year I got 1 since I believe deer numbers are down in my neck of the woods. So I kill first mature doe I see to put meat in the freezer. Then I rack hunt till the end of Nov every year. At the end of Nov if I don't have it filled i take another doe and fill it. Sure I would love to have a monster buck down every year, but that isn't why I hunt. I know his meat will not go to waste as nature will take its course, but I feel like he deserves better.
